I you get no more snow this year, I'll be impressed! I'm not out of snow danger yet down here in the Southwest!

The photos are lovely, especially the contrast of the dirt and snow in the first one.

Great photos. I love the way cloud in the sky....and the furrows.

Deb said...

I love these shots, especially the one of the snow over the frozen field. I used to live in Iowa City! Hope you are right about the last snow.

I really like the geometry of the furrows and snow, Jeannelle. Nicely done. Sky's pretty, too. :)

Jim said...

Good shots.

At first glance those furrows could be a futuristic pattern in beach sand. I have to say this - my, my, Iowa is very, very flat......

Hi, Louise,

Just heard the weather report; there precip headed to Iowa and it could fall as snow for awhile.

Hi, Marg,

Snowy furrows in a plowed field were called an "Oreo field" by my kids when they were younger.

Hi, Deb,

Hi, Laura,

I hope we're done with snow, but who knows.

Hi, Pat,

Cool....I like the word "geometry" in your comment.

Hi, J Bar,

Thank you for stopping by and for the kind comment.

Hi, alphabet soup,

Actually, the second photo looks flatter than it is.....our farm is more rolling than others around here.

Lovely photos, Jeanelle. I also like the 'geometry'. We are expecting 2-5 inches of snow here AGAIN, this weekend, after a sunny week, when the temperature hit 59F one afternoon - nice enough for a bike ride in the countryside. Will spring ever decide to stay?

Hi, Dairymary,

Oh, please don't tell me you have snow.....that means we will probably get some in a few days. Sigh. You never know with March.

We had one afternoon in the 60's last week. I swept the porch and sat out there for a little while. Ah, so pleasant.

Your sky photo is fantastic as a back drop for the furrows in the flat land of Iowa. Great job!
